And include them — not apples themselves, necessarily, but the names of said apples — in your story. They can be included however you see fit: character names, place names, some other worldbuilding aspect, anything and any way you so choose.

Everyone has written wonderful stories. I chose King Solomon, Malinda and Crown Prince Rudolph, then as I needed names, chose Reverend Morgan, Oliver, Lacy, Russet and Apple. A fairy tale popped into my mind. http://wp.me/p2AyuM-oG BTW. This will be live on Friday, as part of my Friday Flash Fiction blog post.

I loved this prompt. I went with the RNG and got: Macoun, Orleans Reinette and Golden Pearmain. There are two ways to navigate to the story, as I have a rather odd blog set up. The direct post is: http://wp.me/p5bJIc-n

This is only the second story I’ve ever written and I LONG for constructive criticism! Please feel free to comment. (If you can’t get people to tell you how badly your writing sucks on the Internet, where can you?! 🙂 )

I am also enjoying reading through the stories everyone else has posted but I’m going to be slow at it due to, ya know, life.

I’m a heritage apple fan, so I got carried away and looked up a few lists of genuinely old English apples (like 1674 for one of them, I forget which). I also got carried away with the number of words (1500) and the number of apple names I stuck in there..

I used a random number generator, which gave me 19, 6, and 2. My three apple variety names are “Orleans Reinette,” “Davenport Russet,” and “Nutmeg.” Which sounded to me like one of these, a that, and a this, which fell together into “Calling Card.”
